The bond of pairs is not exclusive to human beings, in fact some animals experience the sensation of a very strong bond with a partner. This does not happen with everyone, but there are species that practice monogamy. In this case, we have selected 10 animals that are faithful to their life partners.

For this, it is necessary to make it clear that animals do not perceive a feeling similar to that of the human being. According to specialist Ginette Hemley, vice president of wildlife conservation, animals that "choose a mate for life" do so to survive.

MONOGAMOUS ANIMALS

 

One of the main reasons why "they are faithful", according to the World Wild Life portal, would be the time they would need to invest to raise viable offspring. To understand it better, we can take as an example the case of some birds, which require one of the parents to incubate the eggs in the nest, while the couple must collect food. When the young are large and leave the nest, the parents may decide to stay together to avoid wasting time looking for a new mate.

In mammals, monogamy occurs when the offspring need a father figure in order to develop the innate abilities of the species, as happens with wolves.

 

But human beings often romanticize these survival activities to translate them into the romantic ideal of homo sapiens. It is for this reason that, in the stage of falling in love, people look for nicknames or animals to call themselves like them and add a romantic touch.

10 ANIMALS MORE FILES
Now that you know the real reason why some animals choose a partner for "life", it's time to find out what those species are.

1. Penguins:

Penguins have been cataloged as a symbol of romanticism and spend their whole lives together. They equally care for the eggs, breed and fight together for the survival of their young. Despite being separated for the winter, they are one of the most faithful pairs in the animal kingdom.

2. Turtle doves:

It is a kind of monogamous bird and they choose a partner that will accompany them throughout their lives. When you observe them you will realize that the cuddles and signs of affection are constant and that is one of the reasons why every couple recently in love is colloquially called "lovebirds".

 

3. Lovebirds:

Lovebirds are similar to parrots or parakeets. This species of bird is known as the love bird, due to the strong bond that is created between them.

 

4. Swans:

Like penguins, swans are known for their great fidelity. When they are 2 or 3 years old, they start looking for their mate. The union confirms the well-known phrase “until death do us part”.

There is no doubt that it is one of the most romantic species in the animal world, since when they come together, they come to form a heart frame due to their long necks and beaks.

5. Killer Whales:

Included in the world's largest family of dolphins, killer whales are so faithful that they have the same partner for life.

 

6. Otters:

This couple is a clear example of teamwork. They share everything, food, house, games and even sleep holding hands.

 

7. Seahorse:

They have a behavior similar to that of "Romeo and Juliet". According to the latest studies, it was found that seahorses die of love when their partner fails and this happens because they will remain by their side until they die of hunger.

 

8. Mice of the father:

Far from the promiscuous fame of rodents, prairie voles are monogamous and form pairs for life, caring for and raising their young with the female and the male.

9. Gibbons:

Among primates, about 25% of species are socially monogamous, and among them are the gibbons, they are highly monogamous.

10. Wolves:

The gray wolf has a very well-defined family nucleus where the protection of the members, respect and fidelity prevail. It is one of the few monogamous mammals out there. When they choose a mate they stay with her and are part of the cubs' upbringing. Then, as the young grow, they can choose to have another partner. The law of this animal is never to have more than one partner at a time.
